The stockmen of New Mexico are agitating for a reduction in the assessment of range cattle from $15 to $10 per head, alleging in sup port of the demand that stock cat tie are worth about thirty-three pel cent less than they were two years ago, when the assessment of $15 per head was first imposed. Ari- zona stockmen should follow the example of their New Mexico brethren in this matter. In no state or other territory are the stock in terests taxed so heavily, and unless some steps are taken to secure more equitable consideration for ou1 stockmen the values returned by the assessors of the different coun- ties during the last two years will be maintained. Yet other taxable resources of the Territory have in creased in value, while cattle have declined greatly in value The first principles of the American govern ment is the equitable distribution of the burdens ot government on all classes, and to maintain that principle taxation should be equal ized without even the shadow of any discrimination on all classes of property, and not be placed in ex- cess of one kind, that another may be favored. To-day, as in the past, the live stock interests of Arizona are relied on to maintain the bur den of public expenses more than all the other industrial pursuits in the Territory combined, and must remain for years our most impor- tant source of wealth, and 1t is to the interest not only of the men engaged in it, but of the entire Ter ritory, that it should not be taxed to death. Any one acquainted with the present methods of assessing property cannot but have realized that of all classes, live stock re- ceives the less favors, and that a just and unbiased valuation should not exceed ten dollars per head.- Hoof and Horn.
The St. Johns herald., 1887-04-21

The Tombstone Democrat says the proposition to open up trail to the steer ranges of Wyoming and Montana is a good one, and if done will attract buyers from that country to Arizona, and offer a more profitable market for range steers. Hon. Brewster Cameron, who so ably represented the stock interests of the territory at the recent meet ing of the International Range Association, was approached by buyers from these territories, and they told him that all that kept them away from Arizona was the the lack of good trail by which the cattle could be driven to their ranges. They prefer Arizona to Texas cattle, and if good trail is
 opened they will certainly come here to buy. Open a trail, invite buyers and an era of better times among cattlemen will be the result.

Our stock men need not be de- spondent-from what we can gath CT from our exchanges both east and west, the prospects for better prices are good, and improving daily. The San Francisco Call sums up the situation in the fol- lowing encouraging language:
 Beef is rising because the de- mand for 1t is increasing, and the area of the cattle range is being steadily encroached upon by agri- cultural industry each year. Every body eats beef in this county, and the consumption increases in pro- yortion to population. If we as sume that the population of the United States has increased 7,OOO,- 900 since the census of 1880 was taken, which is probably about the case, the consumption of beef is not less than fourteen per cent larger than it was in that year. Meanwhile the cattlemen are being crowded out of one range after an other. Plenty of people can re- member when Abilene was the cen ter of the cattle trade of Texas, Colorado and New Mexico; now the soil of Kansas is being culti- vated nearly up to the Colorado border"
